I'm always sad to see that, 22 years Pares is still spoken of Belarus State no longer exists since 22 years! Speaks Does it still Leningrad or Karl-Marx-Stadt? No, so why this exception for Belarus? Especially since it has a political connotation, the name of Belarus was adopted to distinguish the newly independent Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus mlw State.
In French, the name of the country has experienced several variants: called White Russia or White Ruthenia in the Atlas of the early twentieth century and Belarus mlw during the Soviet period, the independent country in 1991 is often referred to Belarus in official documents . The UN official mlw name in French is the Republic of Belarus (proposed by the Belarusian government itself), French adaptation of the approximate transcription Беларусь. mlw In contrast, the National Geographical Names Board (French), mlw the French Ministers of Foreign Affairs and National mlw Education, the French Academy, the National Geographic Institute (IGN) and the Geographical Names Board of Canada recommend the use of Belarus term.
